Some of you guys have been following my build and time slips but we made some MAJOR progress this weekend! I have been fighting Bad spark Plugs, Bent Stock Axles, and a Rear Brake Problems (Biggest Issue).

So we took the car out to Bradenton Motorsports Park this weekend and I knew we were onto something the first pass of the day. Tire pressure was WAY too high we with a 2.4 second 60' it still ran 134mph! After some additional testing and adjustments to tire pressure we found the sweet spot (13psi in the QTPs) and made a great pass!

Previous best for everyone following my earlier threads was [email protected]. After reviewing the logs and showing minimal to no timing being pulled we knew it was a mechanical issue. Final fix was the rear brakes were DEFINITELY dragging. For anyone who installs the Billet Pro Shop Rear Brake kit on a 2013 (To allow running a 15" Rear Wheel) I'd highly recommend swapping the supplied rotors out with a set of 99-04 Mustang GT OEM Brakes and ensuring they are centered within the Bracket/Caliper.

Video Below!

Plans for NMRA Spring Brake Shootout are Likely ID1000s, VMP Dual BAP, Monoblade Throttle Body and Re-tune. Hopefully can crack into the 9s!!!

Thanks guys! I tried to put the notes up there because as you can see this has been a process getting this car to where it should be. Definitely not just a bolt parts on and run 10s...

Congrats. Great looking car. I have a black with black stripes 13 and yours makes me wish I had went with red stripes. Thanks for the info on your setup. I also have the QTP's on another car and set the pressure to read 13psi after the burnout. Anyone who has done any drag racing with a manual trans and this much power and weight knows its a long process getting the car to hook. Good job!
